What Does the Committee Do?

The L.A.W. Committee, short for Leiden Archaeology Weekend Committee, organises a yearly outing for a whole weekend, somewhere in the Netherlands. Focused on archaeology, of course, L.A.W. is not only about the past and monuments. It is a weekend together with your friends, full of fun, a planned itinerary, and a party at the end. Think of it as a multi-day high school trip, but without the teachers and restrictions.

From the very north to the deep south, L.A.W. can take you to all the interesting archaeological highlights of the Netherlands. Hunebedden in Groningen, the flint mines in Limburg, or the maritime museum of Texel, L.A.W. is a great way to find out more about these gems of Dutch archaeology.
